Hey everyone....
As some of you may remember, I just turned 25 on Friday :clap
anyway... among other things... I got $80 in cash... I want to get something to help me in my photography pursuement (i think that's a word) and could use some advice.
I am currently shooting with a Sony 717, but plan on moving onto the DSLR stage within about 2 months....
so... What should I get?
Here is a link to my site, if you want, http://wanderingthroughlife.smugmug.com
I mostly enjoy doing portraits and people. Headshots and or couple shots/engagement, stuff like that.
What should I get? If it goes a bit over the amount, that's fine, i just need to know, what's going to bennefit me the most, now and in the future
Thanks,
Steven

Wise words marloff...they are a money pit when you are starting out re cleaning gear etc etc.
And when you get your dslr, get EF 50mm f/1.8 II. One of the best price/performance choices in this budget range..
HTH
So like marlof, I would suggest putting that money in the camera fund for now :-)
You're going to need it! bwahahahaha

but if you're looking into buying something worthwhile, maybe look around for a new bag for your new toys. You'd hate to get a new camera and not have a bag to store it in! Putting it back inside the box? pfffffft, you didnt open it to put it back in!
hah, but hey if you have any Sony cybershot accessories you're willing to part out, PM me (like a remote shutter! rmdr1 or rmvd1!). I still shoot with a F828.
By the looks of your gallery, looks like you've learned alot by using the Sony. pshh, you're gonna' whoop some ace with the newer heavier machinery!
